Lemmy is quite left-leaning, and the impetus behind creating Bitcoin was right-wing Austrian school economics. Now, it's being pushed by literal fascists.
I can't say I've ever seen fascists pushing Bitcoins, but then again I don't frequent those spaces. I struggle to see how they are ideologically similar though. Doesn't seem like a very authoritarian concept
And can we really say we know what brought about the publication of the bitcoin whitepaper?
I don't know any crypto bros who aren't also MAGA/libertarian/fascist
Many MAGA/libertarian/fascists love ice cream. Does that mean ice cream is bad? We should be able to make up our own minds about things instead of turning everything into a partisan issue. A broken clock is right twice a day.
Crypto is stupid for entirely different reasons that I've enumerated in other threads in this post. I'm just observing a correlation I've noticed here which directly runs counter to another statement.
They aren’t pushing pro-ice cream laws, this is a disingenuous take.
